Our Vision

The etymology of “between 間 [ within a definite space ]” known as ‘ma 間’ in Japanese or ‘Jian 間’ in Chinese, embodies our design approach and philosophy . “ Between two cultures, two objects, two buildings, two rooms … there is a space … the space of possibilities, where life has to be develop “

In design fields, spaces between buildings are design and think as public spaces… spaces between functions are usages… spaces between meeting rooms are interaction areas … spaces between retail displays are consumers journey …

This “inbetween space” has a lot to offer if you see it as a possibility, as a link, as a soul… between things.

“Between Stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom “
Viktor Emil Frankl.

We design our projects “in and within” the space as a full design entity.

A tailor-made approach - An on-going conversation - “ Made with China ”

Today, in a boutique spirit, in this on-going conversation, inbetween ARCHITECTS, operate as a link between different Cultures, different design fields, intend to feed the space “inbetween” … in this way we question cultural, historical, and geographical insights to the Chinese context.

" In each project, we confront the area, the city, the culture, the surroundings with our own inspirations and Heritage. It’s this on-going conversation that feeds us…

“Within interior design projects, I’ve learn to be involve with textures, colors, lighting and Materials. Architects usually think in volume, space and light, but sometime tend to forget colors and textures. When I design interior space, an hotel, a showroom or a restaurant, the design vocabulary and the atmosphere of the space born from the dialogue between all the elements .

In our European way of working and our tailor made approach, human and sensitive, we crafts projects till construction based our solid details skills and our strong personal involment :

“ We are also extremely concern to bring projects from concept up to execution. The main challenge in China is to offer quality design concept up to a built project, meeting our quality standards. ”

A FRENCH ARCHITECT IN CHINA
Jerome Charignon, French registered Architect has a M.Arch by "de la Ville et des Territoires " Paris since 1997. There, he was breaded with contextual architecture from his peers, such as Architect Yves Lion and Landscape Architect Alexandre Chemetoff.

He has been based in Asia for 15 years, both in Singapore and Shanghai. China is providing him endless inspiration, bustling creativity and a taste for innovation.
In 1999, he moved from Paris to Singapore and worked with HYLA Architects, where he designed and built residential and commercial projects.
Based in Shanghai since 2006, Jerome served as Design director of db&b, a Singaporean design studio, where he and his team designed and built projects for international clients, such as Eaton group, Accor, Axa, Michelin, Danone, Leo Burnett, WPP group ( Young & Rubicam, JWT, GroupM, TNS RI…) …

A tailor-made approach
Mid 2011, Jerome creates his own architecture workshop Inbetween ARCHITECTS 區間, operating as a link between Paris and Shanghai.
“ As citizen of the world and Architect, living and working in China today feels like a privilege, as much as a creative booster ! The dialog between modern and ancient China just never stops, for the best ".

Most of all, INBETWEEN values the relationship and dialogue with client as a key element in the project.
In a boutique spirit, INBETWEEN crafts projects from conceptualization till construction, based on a solid network built with time and experience.
« My ancestor Joseph Charignon was involved in the construction of the railway line from Kunming to Hanoi, in 1910, and he was the first French national to be granted with Chinese citizenship. Few decades later, I walk on his footsteps. Some things here have remained untouched…”

Design with China
“ Made with China ” could be INBETWEEN's motto.
Charignon's assets is his ability to understand the DNA and history of his clients, mostly international companies, and craft a design which fits to Modern China.
